Exchange 2013 Installation

I am installing Office 365 online for my network. The present setup is that I have pop 3 mailboxes with my ISP - I don't have any exchange installation.
My question is should I install Microsoft exchange 2013 locally and then move online OR should I simply install online -- when I look at the Exchange Server Deployment Assistant it seems to work with upgrading installations as opposed to clean installs.
Apols if this Q has an obvious answer.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, I think you should install Exchange 2013 on a member server.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Exchange 2013 installation Problem on Hyper-V

Hello,
I have a very interesting problem Exchange 2013 installation step on Hyper-V.
I have 2 server. I installed on server Server 2012 R2 Standart. And then installed hyper-v role for both server.
I created virtual machine for first server and this virtual machine domain controller.
And then I created virtual machine for second server and this virtual machine Exchange 2013.
I installed all prequisites and exchange 2013 finished successfuly. When I opened https://server/ecp it give me http 500 internal error. I checked almost all forums but any recommendation didn't solve my problem.
And then I removed hyper-v role and installed vmware v11. and installed same applications like above.
Very interesting finished installation and opened ecp console. eveythink seen to good.!
Actualy I find problem.
There is exchange feature installation command on microsoft exchange prequisite. When ruunning this command installing two program on program and feature name is "c++ redistrubutable x64 and x32"
I must uninstall this programs before install unified communication api 4.0.
I cannot see on hyper-v when running this feature.
But I can see on vmware this features on programs and feature.
This is very absurt.
Anybody have an idea for this
Thank you for your clarify.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I run this command before Exchange 2013 installation:
Install-WindowsFeature AS-HTTP-Activation, Desktop-Experience,
NET-Framework-45-Features, RPC-over-HTTP-proxy, RSAT-Clustering,
RSAT-Clustering-CmdInterface, RSAT-Clustering-Mgmt, RSAT-Clustering-PowerShell,

I tried it many times.

Exchange 2013 installation error

i have a server running server standard 2012 r2 recently upgraded from server standard 2003
it is a dc,dchp,dns.
i am trying to install exchange server 2013 standard during the installation i get the following error message.
and am unable to continue.
The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
install-ExchangeSchema -LdapFileName ($roleInstallPath + "Setup\Data\"+$RoleSchemaPrefix + "schema0.ldf")
" was run: "There was an error while running 'ldifde.exe' to import the schema file 'C:\Windows\Temp\ExchangeSetup\Setup\Data\PostWindows2003_schema0.ldf'. The error code is: 8224. More details can be found in the error file: 'C:\Users\Administrator.example\AppData\Local\Temp\ldif.err'".

Hi,
Agree with Amit. And I also find some information for your reference:
Error 8224 is easily resolved by checking the Windows Firewall Profile and either.
A. Disable Domain Profile firewall as well as Private and Public Profles.
B. Disable or turn off Windows Firewall and change the state of the service to Manual.
More details in the following thread:

Exchange 2013 installation fails

We're in the process of migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. I've followed the prerequisites, and have the necessary account permissions, but when I start the installation it fails at step 1 of 5 (mailbox role:mailbox service).
This warning shows up in the application log:

Object [CN=Mailbox Database 1783948598,CN=Databases,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=<domain>,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<domain>,DC=local].

This error shows up in the Exchange install console, as well as the application log:

I should also mention that this installation was attempted once before by an ex-coworker, and it failed. I've spent hours searching Google but haven't come up with a solution. Does anyone have any ideas?

Check it at Exchange 2007 side, Get-MailboxDatabase -Server E2007ServerName or via EMC to confirm but if msExchOwningServer/msExchMasterServer
points to the server which is stale 2013 server then it shouldn't be connected to E2007 by any way and you are good to remove those...
But I wouldn't touch another DB which has just server name and not servername\0ADEL:guid
as it is not giving error (at least yet...) in the setup

Move Exchange 2013 installation to new virtual machine

Currently have: 1 virtual server - Server 2012 (DC, Global Catalog), Exchange 2013 CU1 installation (yes I know- dont install Exchange on DC etc etc ... ). Server2012/Exchange2013 is installed on one VMDK, EDB and logs are saved on another VMDK.
Want to do: Create second virtual machine and install Server 2012 (different name), add it as a member to the same domain (also in the same network), install Exchange 2013, move all mailboxes to the new server, uninstall the old Exchange 2013.
Question is- is it possible to somehow unmount the existing database (I am only using one database for mailboxes and public folders) and mount it to the new server or do I have to create a new database on the new server and move the mailboxes there? I've
heard that the Exchange EDB databases were supposed to be portable between same versions of Exchange.
Any advice is appreciated.

Hi,
Agree with Andy, to avoid down time, we can depend on database portability.
And here are the steps you can refer to:
1. Install new Exchange server on the member server.
2. Move Mailbox Database using Database Portability:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876926(v=exchg.150).aspx
3. Move the public folders (if any), re-home the offline address book, and move your SMTP connectors
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822931
4. Remove the old Exchange server.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.
I'm a bit confused on the instructions from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876926(v=exchg.150).aspx- does step 4 instruct me to overwrite the newly created database (on the new server) with the old database and then mount it on the new server? Also, as the public folders are now in
a mailbox on the same database- aren't they moved with the database without extra hassle?
Also the link you gave me in Step 3 in your post refers to Exchange 2003.
Thanks in advance.

Introducing Active Directory sites AFTER exchange 2013 installation

Hi
We have multiple physical sites and only 1 active directory site. Email environment is pure on-premises exchange 2013. Each physical site has CAS/Mailbox servers. There are not IP restrictions between these physical sites. Everything
is outlook anywhere obviously.
I would like to introduce NEW AD sites for each of these physical locations.
Do you see any major issues that I need to be aware of?
Can this be done in the middle of the day?
Will there be pop ups in outlooks and disconnects?
I appreciate your help.

I haven't had to do this before, but I would probably schedule this at night as there are some changes that will need to be made on the Exchange side of things.
Once you have the new AD Sites configured (Make sure you have at a minimum one Global Catalog, although I would recommend at least 2 in each AD site). You should cycle the AD Topology Service on each Exchange Server (this is going to cause all services
to restart so do it one at a time).
You should also use Set-ClientAccessServer and set the proper site scopes that you want Autodiscover to respond to.
I'm sure there's more, but that's what I can think of at the moment.

This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi,
As additional, I want to double confirm whether external user cannot receive message send from your environment and contain attachment, or cannot send message with attachment for external mail flow.
If it’s the former, it means mail flow works fine in your environment. You can contact administrator for destination forest to check attachment filter and transport rule.
If it’s the latter, this issue may be caused in your own configuration. We can check anti-spam filter, transport rule and send connector, run message track log and protocol log to find out the node for this issue.

Problem In Exchange Server 2013 Installation

i am Trying to install exchange server for Lab Purpose and it start normal install ,and it stuck in step 8 of 15 at 98% and give error FMS Initialization
So kindly Give me Proper solution,i have un install each and every things Like DC and agains do the same process but still give problem in 8 of 15 in 98% with FMS.i check on net too but not get a proper solution for its.
regard Abdul Nasir Afridi

I think
Jean-Paul van Ravensberg describes exactly this problem and the solution for it.
First, uninstall Exchange (from "Programs and Features" in Control Panel). Then, restart and repeat the Exchange 2013 installation without the the malware protection - by default, it is set to be installed, and you need to choose "Yes":

Large Mail.que database in Exchange 2013

[Background]
Since Exchange 2013 is released, some user may come across the following situations:
The space of disk C is used up.
The transport service stops processing messages.
The Mailbox server is crash.
In this case, the issue can be resolved with checking with the mail.que file which is in the following path on the Mailbox server:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Queue
[Symptom]
The Mail.que file on all Exchange 2013 servers grows very large and it’s even over 20 GB.
[Cause]
It’s a by design behavior.
Different from the previous Exchange server, Safety Net which has the same function with the Transport dumpster in Exchange 2013 takes up the volume of the mail.que file and
it’s the feature which is responsible for the large size of the mail.que in Exchange 2013.
And here is a reference about the feature Safety Net in Exchange 2013:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj657495(v=exchg.150).aspx
[Workarounds]
1. Allocate large space for the Exchange 2013 installation or increase the volume for Exchange 2013.
These articles will also provide further detail of size calculating:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/05/14/released-exchange-2013-server-role-requirements-calculator.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/05/06/ask-the-perf-guy-sizing-exchange-2013-deployments.aspx
(See section: “Transport storage requirements”)
2. Moved queue database to another drive by using
Move-DatabasePath
3. Reduce the SafetyNetHoldTime and MessageExpirationTimeouton values to one day (default values are 2 days). And these commands can be in use:
Set-TransportConfig SafetyNetHoldTime 1.00:00:00
Get-TransportService | Set-TransportService -MessageExpirationTimeout 1.00:00:00

Hello,
Please make sure you do exchange server upgrading or a clean exchange 2013 installation. If you do a upgrading, please refer to the similar thread to assign a database to the arbitration mailbox "SystemMailbox{bb558c35-97f1-4cb9-8ff7-d53741dc928c}".
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/239cb4a6-4a07-4b9a-800c-974573bbff32/error-installing-step-12-mailbox-role-service-on-exchange-2013-cu2?forum=exchangesvrdeploy
Please make sure you have these permission "Schema Admins, Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins" to install exchange 2013 server.
If this is a clean exchange 2013 installation, please try to recreate the system mailbox to check the result.

Exchange Server Installation for a DAG environment

I have prepared 6 servers for exchange 2013 installation :
2 for DC and ADC   -- OS windows server 2012 R2
2 for CAS Role       -- OS Windows server 2012
2 for Mailbox Role -- OS Windows Server 2012
As Windows Server 2012 R2 is not supported for installing Exchange 2013 i decommissioned 4 Servers ( CAS and Mailbox ) and starting from scratch.
Will the above scenario work now ... like having Domain controller OS in Server 2012 R2 and CAS and Mailbox Server Roles in Server 2012 Version ?
How to install individual Server role for exchange server 2013 ( i mean CAS role on 2 servers and Mailbox on 2 servers). are there any steps to follow on for this ?
Please let me know on this.

Windows 2012 R2 will work for a server OS for your Domain Controllers. However, the Forest and Domain functional levels need to be Windows 2012 or less.
For your Exchange 2013 servers, there are a lot of unanswered questions here and these forums only give us a certain amount of space and time to explain the entire installation process.   If this is for production and your not sure what to do,
your best bet is to hire a consultant to help you out to make sure you get all the ins and outs. At the very least you can get assistance in your deployment. If you don't have budget for this or are creating a test lab, you can always try using
the Exchange Deployment -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/jj657516.aspx. This might give you an idea of how to proceed.
There are a lot of examples of Exchange installs out there as well. If this is a lab, these are well worth looking through and tinkering with to get to know the product better:
Example -

Migration From Exchange 2010 Hybrid to Exchange 2013 Hybrid Deployment

hi,
I have existing Exchange Server 2010 Hybrid Deployment. Planning to migrate to Exchange 2013. However, while schema update, i am facing some errors/warnings as can be seen in attached screenshot.
I have already checked and current functional level in DC is Windows Server 2003. What could be the best steps to troubleshoot the problems and proceed further with Exchange 2013 installation?
Thanks

Hi Muhammad
Can you please give few more information about your environment so that people around here can help you out
I have existing Exchange Server 2010 Hybrid Deployment - Do you have Exchange 2010 and Office 365 in a
hybrid setup now ?
Are you trying to upgrade your on premise Exchange 2010 servers to Exchange 2013 ?
Or Are you trying to migrate your on premise Exchange 2010 to a different forest to Exchange 2013 ?
You can try the below suggestions-
I would better suggest you to follow Microsoft Exchange Server Deployment Assistant - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756393.aspx
Also i would recommend you to check the prerequisites for hybrid deployment with office 365

Addition of Exchange 2013 server to Exchange 2010 organization broke Exchange

This is somewhat of an emergency, since Exchange is down completely for us right now.
I just migrated from SBS2003 to Exchange 2010 on Windows 2012 over last weekend. Everything is now stable, and SBS2003 is shut down. Now I am attempting to migrate from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
The plan was this:
Install Exchange 2013 on another server (Windows 2008R2)
Wait until everything is replicated
Remove the Exchange 2010 server from the organization
Uninstall Exchange 2010
Install Exchange 2013 on the Windows 2012 server
Wait until everything is replicated
Remove Exchange 2013 from the Windows 2008R2 server
But here is what actually happened:
Installed all Exchange 2013 prerequisites on the Windows 2008R2 server
Began Exchange 2013 server setup on the Windows 2008R2 server. Included both Mailbox & CAS roles
At step 11 of 15 (not sure what that was, though), received this error message:
Error: The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="windows management instrumentation (wmi)" new enable=yes
" was run: "The term 'netsh' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct
and try again.".
And setup halted. I ran the netsh command via the command prompt, and it correctly said something about four rules being created or updated (not sure of exact verbiage). Now, when I try to restart setup, it says it is in the middle and will try to complete
but stays at 0%. But here is the most immediate issue:
Now I cannot access e-mail from any workstations (says Exchange server is unavailable)
Opening EMC on the Exchange 2010 server: I get as far as Microsoft Exchange -> Microsoft Exchange On-Premises and get this error:
The attempt to connect to http://[Exchange 2010 FQDN]/PowerShell using "Kerberos authentication failed: Processing data from remote server [Exchange 2010 FQDN] failed with the following error message:
Couldn't find Enterprise Organizaiton container. (Note that it refers to the local server as remote server)
I get an event 7031 on the Exchange 2010 server: The Microsoft Exchange Service Host service terminated unexpectedly
Opening the Exchange Management Shell on the Exchange 2010 server yields the same message regarding "Couldn't find the Enterprise Organization container..."
It also says, "Connecting to [Exchange 2013 server FQDN], then says connected to that server. Opening EMS on the Exchange 2013 server seems to connect correctly to the Exchange 2013 server, but there is no EM Console available there.
At this point, I am lost. I will continue to research this online but may have to call Microsoft soon, since we are entirely down at the moment. Any help is much appreciated!

All of the above, I believe. And E2003 is on the DC (and functioning just fine); E2012 on a member server (this is a very small environment--they have only the DC, a DB2 database server, and a lightly-used and old terminal server). I just spent 12 hours
on the phone with MS support on this issue, and it has now come down to this: the Exchange 2013 installation will not run to completion. It has failed repeatedly at a few points today, all related to the shell being unable to access Windows EXEs or environment
variables with variations on this error:
"...not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program..." for each of these:
netsh (windows exe)
sc.exe (windows exe)
hostname (windows command that returns workstation name)
These all work from the command prompt. I am currently stuck on sc.exe failing on each attempt to install Exchange 2013 or Exchange 2013 SP1. Nor can I just remove it--it insists on attempting to proceed with installation even with the manual command-line
argument to remove it instead.
At this point, I am awaiting a night call back from Microsoft support, since the technician that worked on it with me for 12 hours today had to go home.

Unable to prevent backscatter with Exchange 2013

Hi,
From my research, it seems that Exchange 2013 might have an inherent flaw (although I hope I am wrong).
Unlike all previous versions of Exchange, the 'Filter recipients who are not in the Directory' feature doesn't work the same.
Exchange 2013 seems to check the recipient only after getting the message.
mail from:<[email protected]>
250 2.1.0 Sender OK
rcpt to:<[email protected]>
250 2.1.5 Recipient OK
data
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Write some Text Here
550 5.1.1 User unknown
And here is Exchange 2010 for example:
mail from:<[email protected]>
250 2.1.0 Sender OK
rcpt to:<[email protected]>
550 5.1.1 User unknown
This is rather a big problem, because it means that every Exchange 2013 installation is just sitting and waiting to be abused with backscatter spam, and unlike previous incarnations of Exchange, there is nothing that can be done about it. Once an Exchange 2013
server has been abused with backscatter spam, its outgoing IP addresses will become blacklisted very quickly.
The only possible solutions I've found seem to require multiple server configurations and big complexity.
What can be done about this?

Hi Chukee1,
This is a known issue in Exchange 2013, as a workaround for this issue, you can enable recipient filter on Edge server.

Exchange 2013 / 2010 / 2007 - Public Folders

I have read that legacy public folders and 2013 public folders canot co-exist.
If I have legacy public folders A, B and C, does this mean...
that if I migrate folder A to 2013, i cannot maintain a replica on legacy systems, but folders B and C are still accessible
..or..
If I migrate folder A to 2013, I must migrate folders B and C also.
If I am need to import folder D, from an external Exchange 2013 installation, into my legacy public folder system, is it possible to migrate folder D out of the external 2130 environment into my legacy public folder environment? If so, is there any extra functionality
2013 PF has that the users will lose if the folders are down graded to legacy?
Thanks!
Tom

Hi,
User mailboxes on Exchange 2013 servers can connect to legacy public folders, but legacy Exchange mailboxes are unable to access the public folder hierarchy on Exchange 2013 server.
Exchange 2013 public folders and legacy public folders can’t exist in your Exchange organization simultaneously.
Before you migrate public folders, you need to migrate mailboxes to Exchange 2013 first.
Please refer to the following article.
